And with it, we can reclaim memory from zswap when it's (often) not at max capacity. The kernel has no knowledge of absolute coldness, only relative coldness thanks to LRU. We don't have a global LRU of all possible memory pages/objects for a particular memcg either, so we cannot compare the coldness of objects from different sources. The "coldest" pages in zswap LRU could very well be warm enough that swapping them out degrades performance, while there are even colder memory from other sources (other shrinkers registered for this memcg). Alternatively, we can also "evict" uncompressed anonymous memory, which will go to the zswap pool. This also saves memory, and could potentially be better than zswap reclaim (2 compressed pages might be better performance-wise than 1 uncompressed, 1 swapped out) All of this depends on the memory access pattern of the workloads, which could differ cgroup-by-cgroup within the same system. Having a per-memcg knob is a way for admins to influence this decision from userspace, if the admins have knowledge about workload memory access patterns. For e.g, if we know that there is one particular cgroup that populates a bunch of single-use tmpfs pages, then we can target that cgroup specifically, while leaving the other cgroups in the system alone. > > > > > > > > > > > > Furthermore, to make it more robust for many workloads and prevent > > > > overshrinking (i.e evicting warm pages that might be refaulted into > > > > memory), we build in the following heuristics: > > > > > > > > * Estimate the number of warm pages residing in zswap, and attempt = to > > > > protect this region of the zswap LRU. > > > > * Scale the number of freeable objects by an estimate of the memory > > > > saving factor.
